Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Tomatillo Stratocaster II Journeyman Relic – Super Faded Aged Sonic Blue/2019 Fender Custom Shop Summer Showcase Event
Sweeter-sounding than its spicy cousin, but still packing authentic Fender tonal flavour, the Limited Edition Roasted Tomatillo Strat II is hiding a few special ingredients inside. The trio of Hand-Wound Tomatillo single-coil Stratocaster pickups, reproducing what aged, Strat ½-Blender wiring, which lets you blend the neck pickup in to taste when in position one—bridge pickup-only—unlocking sweeter, more flavourful tone. The two-piece body is crafted from alder that was selected for weight and grain. Crafted from Tinted maple rift sawn neck, the neck sports a 10/56 “V”-shaped profile that’s comfortable for almost any playing style while the maple fingerboard sports a 7.25″ – 9.5” radius and jumbo frets that will feel familiar to contemporary players.
This particular guitar and amp set was on display at the 2019 Fender Custom Shop Summer Showcase Event In Indian Wells, California. We were lucky enough to acquire this show piece for Eddies’s Guitars.
